how else should they imbue the world with a desire for the poetry life?

This is neat… I like the use of color and the ambiguity it creates.

You and Steve Reich are the great American masters of morphing found artifacts to art.

Instead of “blushing,” how about “lipsticked”? You asked. . .

Your haikus aren’t real poems? You could do with some self-aggrandizing, pops! But seriously, I’m enjoying your updates thoroughly. Added to my Google Reader (your first RSS subscription?…).

Senryu. There are seeming references to nature- “dogs” and “northern salmon”, but modern dogs are domesticated by humans (and these non-hunters aren’t dogs at all)) and the northen salmon is not the nifty fish that seasonally provides a food staple to ursus horribilis.

Not that familar with the differences between the two forms, but my brief research suggests that senryu may be a more appropriate vehicle for Updates from the Trail.

Or are you being ironic? Oxymoronic?

Nicely done, Jeff. Concise political commentary; I’m also amused, just as I’m sure you were amused while writing it.

To paraphrase the late Sen. Everett Dirksen- a few $700 billion here, a few $700 billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money! Coming soon- an $11 trillion national debt!

The Republic is more likely to survive if the northern salmon and militant “maverick” are not elected in November. But let’s not forget the old saw that Dukakis enjoyed repeating- a fish rots from the head down.
